Dance

The Glenfield College Dance Department encourages all students to achieve their very best in a range of genres, techniques and the requirements of the National Dance Curriculum. We simultaneously aim to help all students develop a passion for dance so that they may develop as dancers, choreographers and performing artists. The Dance Department provides highly qualified and experienced instruction in the theoretical, technical and practical aspects of a wide range of dance styles.

“Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are great because of their passion” – Martha Graham
